In techland, even venture capital firms are getting in on the Cyber Monday act, reports The Next Web.

It's estimated that this year's Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row, says the Associated Press. According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday.
